ENGINE OIL – GASOLINE VEHICLES
See General Warnings on page 9.
Even though the low oil warning light on the dash should illuminate if oil level becomes low, engine oil level
should be checked monthly. Vehicle should be on a level surface when checking oil. Do not overfill with oil.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
1. Remove the oil level dipstick from the oil filler tube and wipe oil from dipstick (Figure 26). See following
CAUTION.
∆
CAUTION
• Do not remove dipstick while engine is running.
2. Check oil by fully inserting the dipstick into the oil filler tube and immediately removing it.
3. If the oil level is at or below the low level mark on the dipstick gauge, add oil until the level is between low
and full levels (safe level).
4. Reinsert dipstick into the oil filler tube.
NOTE: Properly recycle or dispose of used oil in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.

OIL VISCOSITY
Choose the viscosity according to the temperature as indicated by the oil viscosity chart (Figure 27). See fol-
lowing NOTE.
NOTE: Using multi-grade oils (5W-20, 10W-30, and 10W-40) will increase oil consumption. Check oil level
more frequently when using them.
